So it is misspelt by Canadian's, eh? I'm lost. Not that it matters to anyone by Nigel.

I will go with the etymologists I work with over wiki, if that is alright.
But you are right that it has not been in print for very long.

According to wiki, tuque is a spelling unique to canada and only dates back to the 1870s.
In Breton it is spelt toque, toc or tok (depending on the era).

Exactly.
But I was being nice to Ron and trying to restore his dignity a bit by correcting him.

Started to cool down a bit here today, so I'll probably have to put a shirt on when I get out of bed tomorrow morning for this.
Shit I'm looking forward to this game....fair bit of trepidation about it mind you.
Can't wait to hear the noise tomorrow.

When you form your own league, and start having players who can rank higher in the international rankings people might take your opinions seriously, Nigel.
While you're sandwiched between BURKINA FASO & RWANDA...nobody will listen to yours.

We use "colourful", first thing.
Tuque is the Breton spelling, which a lot of early coureurs de bois were and it stuck. Nothing like that has ever happened in British English, right?

The Toque, popular in Europe in the 13th century, around 6 (six) centuries before Canada was established, and then misspelt the word.
